Breathtaking views in the heart of Paris

In Paris, where every street corner reveals a treasure, few places offer a panorama as spectacular as the rooftops of Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. Nestled atop these famous department stores, these places are much more than terraces: they're experiences in their own right.

The Galeries Lafayette Haussmann rooftop is a true invitation to wonder. Located on the top floor of the main building, it offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the capital. The majestic dome of the Galeries serves as a prelude to a show that continues outside: the Eiffel Tower, Opéra Garnier, Montmartre and Parisian rooftops stretch as far as the eye can see. Access to the terrace is free, a rare luxury in a city where the best viewpoints are often not free.

A stone's throw away, the rooftop of Printemps Haussmann rivals that of any other in elegance and ambience. Perched atop the fashionable building, it is home to the Perruche terrace restaurant, a chic, leafy spot where gastronomy meets scenic beauty. The view is just as breathtaking, embracing the emblematic monuments of Paris, from the Invalides to the Sacré-Coeur basilica.

These two rooftops embody the Parisian art of living: luxury, beauty and pleasure. From the hotel, walk about 10 minutes to the Pont Marie metro station on line 7. Take the metro towards La Courneuve - 8 Mai 1945 and get off at Chaussée d'Antin - La Fayette, after about 8 stops. This station puts you right next to both department stores.
